Rosenmontagszug

In the organizer's words:

🎭 Rose Monday parade Düsseldorf 2026 🎉

Helau Düsseldorf! On Rose Monday, 16.02.2026, the heart of the Rhineland carnival will once again parade through the city. The legendary Rose Monday parade is expected to start at 12:22 pm and wind its way through Düsseldorf city center at a leisurely 2.5 km/h - plenty of time to marvel, celebrate and catch carnival sticks. 🍬🎊

Look forward to one of the largest carnival parades in Germany with around 8,000 participants:
🎭 approx. 85 foot groups
🎨 around 110 imaginatively designed themed floats
🎺 Around 30 brass bands and music groups that provide a great atmosphere

Between biting political satire, creative costumes, loud music and lots of good humor, Düsseldorf shows once again how carnival works: loud, colorful, critical and warm. Whether at the roadside with friends, family or in your wildest costume - this day belongs to the city.

👉 Tip: arrive early, dress warmly and leave room for camels.
Düsseldorf celebrates - and you're right in the middle of it! 🎉🍭
